Brandon Tierney & Sal Licata

On this episode of She's Got Next with Jordan Robinson, Jordan is joined by Athlete's Unlimited Softball League Champion, Sydney Romero. She talks about the journey to the inaugural AUSL Championship and when she finally plans on resting. Jordan then goes in depth into the social media side of Women's Sports and how that is helping to grow the game in her "Let's Get Down To Business" segment.

In this segment, BT and Sal dive into the New York Knicks' recent decision to sign Mikal Bridges to a four-year, $150 million contract extension. While acknowledging the value of Bridges taking slightly less than the maximum, both hosts express skepticism regarding the hefty price tag given his performance in his first year with the team. They discuss whether new coach Mike Brown can unlock a "heightened version" of Bridges offensively, and the conversation veers into a passionate debate about the potential acquisition of Ben Simmons, with Sal surprisingly advocating for the former Sixer's theoretical fit in a modified role, and BT adamantly against it due to Simmons' perceived lack of commitment and injury history.

BT and Sal dive deep into the rumors of Terry McLaurin wanting out of Washington and the possibility of the Jets trading for him. Sal expresses love for McLaurin as a player but questions the financial commitment of paying two high-end receivers and the potential culture clash of bringing in an unhappy veteran so early in Aaron Glenn's rebuilding process. BT, while acknowledging the financial outlay and potential shift in offensive philosophy under Justin Fields, emphasizes McLaurin's talent and the existing connection with Jets' passing game coordinator Scott Turner, who previously coached McLaurin in Washington. They debate if the Jets' run-heavy approach would justify such a significant investment and if the team's current stage of development is right for a "massive swing."

In a lively studio discussion, WWE's Michael Cole joined BT & Sal to share his passionate New York Mets fandom and offer insights into the upcoming two-night SummerSlam event at MetLife Stadium. Cole, a self-proclaimed "massive Mets fan," expressed mixed feelings about the team's trade deadline moves, praising the bullpen acquisitions but lamenting the lack of offensive help. The conversation also delved into Cole's extensive career as a WWE commentator, highlighting the unique challenges and joys of his role, including surprising moments like Brock Lesnar ending The Undertaker's WrestleMania streak and John Cena's heel turn. He shared his personal take on wrestling legends, naming Hulk Hogan and John Cena as his top two, and revealed how he prepares for major WWE events like SummerSlam, emphasizing the storytelling and character development aspects of his job.

During their show, BT and Sal delved into a listener's provocative comparison: Anthony Volpe is turning into the new Daniel Jones. The caller ignited a lively debate by likening Volpe's current struggles and the polarized fan base to the career trajectory and fan reception of the Giants' quarterback, prompting BT and Sal to weigh in on the striking similarities and crucial differences between the two New York athletes.
